As the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence continues to restructure its parishes in response to the new realities that were recently outlined in the diocesan Pastoral Profile, another local parish, St. Charles Borromeo, Woonsocket, is set to close early next year (2020).
The final Masses will be celebrated on the weekend of January 11/12, 2020. Parishioners were informed during weekend Masses on November 16/17 2019.
All sacramental records of St. Charles Borromeo will remain at their current location, the rectory office of All Saints Parish, 323 Rathbun St., Woonsocket where they will be maintained for the faithful. The assets, debts and liabilities of St. Charles Borromeo Parish will be assumed by the Diocese of Providence, in accord with Church (canon) law.
